The Again Faster Bar


The Again Faster Bar is a portable pull-up bar. Like many other quality training devices, it was invented out of necessity--I needed to do pullups outdoors, and had no good way to make it happen.

After a visit to the hardware store and some serious hands-on testing, I had a piece of equipment that allows you to do pull-ups off of nearly any horizontal span: trees, signs, rafters, basketball hoops, etcetera. Set-up only takes a few minutes, and break-down is just as quick.

The AF Bar can even hang off non-level surfaces, as each of the attachment points is independently adjustable. Rated at over 400 pounds, it's as solid as a rock.

Check out Jerry Hill of FitForceCamp.com doing some heavy weighted chins beneath a Philadelphia underpass:



Jerry had this to say about his experience with the Bar:

"...Awesome! The Bar felt amazing in my hands, was easy to set-up and I hit a solid 25 chins with a 40lb weight vest!...Great product Jon! Exactly what I was looking for. The no-brainer was who I was buying it from."

After seeing his video, I was inspired to do some testing of my own, and I grabbed a few members of the Again Faster crew to help me out. Unfortunately, I only managed 16 chins with the 40-pound vest, but the Bar held fast through every rep.



Never satisfied, I decided to push the envelope a little bit. I strapped the AF Bar over a forty-foot cliff and kipped out a bunch of pull-ups. The fine folks at Crossfit.com helped me get the word out. To see the "Cliff Kipping" Video, click here.

Since its inception in October, we've sent Again Faster Bars all over the country. John Velandra of Designs in Fitness purchased one for his North Carolina athletes, using it for pull-ups and the occasional Turkish Get-up.


John had this to say: "I've been wanting to build a portable pull-up bar for quite some time, but never got around to it. I got my bar in October and was impressed with the quality and versatility of it. We use it every chance we get and it will be a piece of equipment that will always be with me for traveling and impromptu workouts!”

Again Faster has taken the pull-up bar and made it accessible to athletes everywhere. You don't need to rely on the local gym or a shoddy doorway mounted bar any more.

For $75.00 we'll send the AF Bar anywhere in the Continential United States, and you'll have it in a fraction of the time it takes other vendors.

When you purchase equipment from Again Faster, rest assured that we stand behind it 100%. Your bomb-proof pull-up bar is guaranteed for life.
